I found out about 2 years ago that I had hep c. Things looked bleak and hopeless. I was scared and angry that I was going to die from a virus I did not deserve. My wife and I are about as conservative as 2 people can get. I took the treatment faithfully , never missing a dose and worked full time as hard as I could. It was not easy being sick for a year and I must admit I wanted to quit more than once but with the love and prayers of many , I finished it. TODAY was my 6 month evaluation. The viral load was undetectable. TODAY was my last visit to this doctor and his staff. Keep up the faith and say your prayers every day.! There are a lot of old timers on this website with some really great advice. Hep C is a lonely disease because you cannot discuss it with most people. But here you have a lot of friends in the same boat. Thank you to all for the encouragement and prayers.
